Karla Black
Galerie Gisela Capitain is pleased to announce its third exhibition with the Scottish artist Karla Black.
Sculptor Karla Black is considered to be a pioneer of her generation. Using a mix of traditional and unusual materials such as cellophane, sugar paper, plaster powder and cosmetic products she has created a unique visual language.
Her sculptural works, which are often room-filling and highly colourful, operate on the border between installation, painting and performance art, while being defined quite definitely as sculptures.
Inspired, among other things, by the idea of psychoanalysis and its significance for art, Black uses material experience as a possibility to learn something about the world; something that cannot be formulated linguistically.
Her exhibition at Galerie Gisela Capitain features new works, conceived to take into account the specificity of the space.
